An economist on Twitter- insights on his journey

By -

Justin Wolfers jumps into Tweeting and later ask the question on whether he hfsd become a better economist as a result (he doesn't know just yet). Some early observations include finding the experience fun and addictive, "all about the links" you share, and that Google+ "really is a better technology for everything Twitter does".

#BabaeAko fail: Yellowtard Netizens slut-shaming woman Duterte kissed on the lips! 😮

By -

A video of the woman Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte kissed on the lips in South Korea is making the rounds. The woman in question has categorically absolved Duterte of any malice. This, however, has not quashed the vindictiveness of Yellowtards who are singularly-focused on painting their preferred picture of the Duterte administration as shown in the ensuing thread following a tweet exhibiting this video...


This is coming from a clique of Netizens who supposedly subscribe to the "Babae Ako" movement launched by the Yellowtards to protest Duterte's so-called "misogyny".

Inconsistency, however, is not something that contributes to the credibility of a movement. It is the Yellowtards themselves who do their own cause in.

I have mat many women online and I guess I am an expert on that by now. Filipinas are a curious breed.

Leni Robredo is incapable of taking a position on CRITICAL national issues

By -

The Philippines' "vice president" Leni Robredo is renowned for starting every statement with the phrase "ang sa akin lang naman" (in my humble opinion). As in something like this, for example...

Ang sa akin lang naman, Martial Law in Mindanao won't be effective...
Blah blah blah... And more of that to the same effect.

What does Robredo's propose? Essentially nothing.

The trouble with that is, Filipinos are all options but no roadmap. As such, Robredo mirrors the essence of the failure of the Philippine Opposition. They make a lot of noise about options (packaged as being "critical" of the administration) yet offer no pathway forward.

It is hardly surprising why the Philippine Opposition led by the Yellowtards continues to fail.
